I have heard and read that the master brake cylinder will bolt right on. What about the booster? I figure why not go all the way.
TIA
Peter


1. Do I need to upgrade the master brake cylinder and booster?
No.

2. What size wheels do I need? I have 15" bottle caps on now.
I had bottle caps when I did the conversion also - they fit fine. Note that the E32 used these wheels too, not just the E34.

3. What year 740 and 540 do I need to get the calipers from?
See the archive links below.
2001 week 38
2001 week 51

4. How much will this increase my stopping power?
SIGNIFICANTLY!

I think this is all let me know if I missed anything.
With the archives listed above, you should have all you need to know.
